In a statistics class there are 18 juniors and 10 seniors; 6 of the seniors are females and 12 of the juniors are males. If a st

udent is selected at random, find the probability of selecting the following: P(a junior or a senior). Enter your answer as a fraction in the form a/b (for example 2/3, 5/7) or as an integer.

Answer:

P(a junior or a senior)=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the probability is given by:

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}

Where P(A) is the probability of occurring an event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and N is the total number of outcomes.

In this case, N is the total number of the students of statistics class.

N=18+10=28

The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)

Therefore:

P(a junior or a senior) =P(a junior)+P(a senior)

Because a student is a junior or a senior, not both.

n(a junior)=18

n(a senior)=10

P(a junior)=18/28

P(a senior) = 10/28

P(a junior or a senior) = 18/28 + 10/28

Solving the sum of the fractions:

P(a junior or a senior) = 28/28 = 1

Identify az of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5
4vir4ik [10]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Identify a3 of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5,...a3=

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The third term of sequence is 0.75

a_3 = 0.75

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, sequence is:

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

Let us find the difference between terms

0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25\\\\0.75-0.5 = 0.25\\\\1.25-1=0.25\\\\1.5-1.25=0.25

This is a arithmetic sequence

Because the difference between any term and its immediately preceding term is always 0.25

In a arithmetic sequence,

a_1 = \text{ first term of sequnece }\\\\a_2 = \text{second term of sequnce }\\\\a_3 = \text{third term of sequnece }\\\\a_n = \text{ nth term of sequnce }

Thus, in the sequence 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

a_3 = \text{ third term } = 0.75

Thus the third term of sequence is 0.75

Graph a direct variation function that goes through the point (-2, -6). what is the slope
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The slope is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation function will always go through the origin point (0, 0).

Therefore, we have the two points (0, 0) and (-2, -6).

We can use the slope formula to find the slope:

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle m=\frac{0-(-6)}{0-(-2)}=\frac{6}{2}=3

Therefore, the slope of the function is 3.

To graph, simply plot (0, 0) and (-2, -6) and draw a line connecting them. This is shown below.
